The Living Series: More people will be building..., 1989 17 x 36 x 18 in (43.1 x 91.4 x 45.7 cm)
In this sculptural work from her Living Series, Holzer combines text and form to examine contemporary social anxieties and urban development. The phrase "More people will be building..." is inscribed onto the three dimensional structure, characteristic of Holzer's practice of embedding language into architectural and public spaces. The monumental scale and horizontal orientation invite viewer engagement while the cryptic declaration prompts reflection on progress, construction, and collective futures.
